Country
Tanzania
Tanzania's panorama freedom covers video but not still photos, and its safari parks treat any outside photographer as a commercial shoot with daily fees.
Permit: conditionalPanorama: Limited
Shoot decision
Depends on setup
Casual personal photography needs no permit. Tanzania treats outside photographers and crews as commercial.
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Tanzania Film Board for media shoots; TANAPA and NCAA for parks
Cost: No permit for casual tourist photos; parks charge daily commercial filming fees (roughly $250 to $300 per day), plus Film Board registration for media work
Casual personal photography needs no permit. Tanzania treats outside photographers and crews as commercial. Avoid government, military, and airport sites; Zanzibar adds modesty norms.
Drone / airspace
Heavily restricted by the TCAA plus park and Ministry of Defence permits; effectively banned in parks and Zanzibar without costly special permits
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes in genuinely public places, but consent is the strong norm, especially for the Maasai, Hadzabe, children, and ceremonies
Many people expect a small payment; arrange it through your guide.
Freedom of panorama
Limited
The Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act 1999 permits reproduction of public architecture and art only in audio-visual recordings, not still photographs, so selling stills of recent copyrighted works is risky. Older landmarks are public domain.
Practical notes
- Safari parks are commercial-filming jurisdictions: TANAPA and NCAA charge daily fees and drones are effectively banned in parks.
- Expect to pay (via your guide) when photographing the Maasai; never photograph government, military, or airports.
